don't believe these computer main lines, OTB intuition way better

You're joking, right?

not really, it depends on how literally you read the comment

Well, in this position, White can win using various sequences of moves. But no human's "OTB intuition" can match a strong engine's search in a position like this. I have no doubt that an engine will bring this game to its conclusion more efficiently and correctly than a human would.

I'm certainly not claiming that any single PV, like the one below, represents a best line of play. But 33. Qe2 is certainly best here.

Yes, I understand exactly what you're staying here.

But I want to hear what you think, not what your computer thinks.
